The capacity of a structure to prevent sound from reaching a receiving location. Sound energy is not necessarily absorbed; impedance mismatch, or reflection back toward the source, is often the principal mechanism.

Cork is considered by many floor specialists as one of the best materials for reducing impact sound. To reduce the noise heard in rooms below caused by floor traffic, Amorim has developed a range of underlays that are designed to deliver the best acoustic performance for each type of flooring available on the market.

High levels of sound insulation

Recent research has revealed that sound insulation is closely linked to productivity and concentration. Environments with poorer acoustic conditions affect people’s health and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Underlays can consist of pure agglomerated cork or agglomerated cork mixed with other composites, e.g. Recycled Rubber, PUR or EVA polymers. They can have different sizes, according to the application.Underlays not only improves the thermal and acoustical insulation but also allows the levelling of the floor before lay…

High impact sound insulation in flooring screed application.

The deck elements on cork boards are winning over shipyards and operators of passenger vessels and mega yachts with their significant weight reduction, superb footfall sound and thermal insulation, as well as maximum precision and time savings during installation of the decking at the shipyard.

In a few seconds, the simulator will identify the Acousticork solution that offers the best performance in terms of sound and vibration insulation. You will also receive an email with all the information required to start working on your project.

Available in different compositions and thicknesses, Acousticork underscreeds offer a high performance solution for sound insulation and airborne noise control. They are suitable for buildings with stringent acoustic requirements, such as hotels, supermarkets, shopping centres or multipurpose projects, which combine ho…

The pads – an engineered compound with cork and natural rubber - from Acousticork range are designed to optimize sound and impact insulation in floor construction and achieve resonance frequencies of 6 to 10Hz.  When integrated within a floating floor system, VC1000’s pads are used to obtain very high airborne and impa…

The project presented by EMEF - Empresa de Manutenção de Equipamento Ferroviário S.A primarily aims to increase passenger comfort and safety and reduce energy consumption through improved sound insulation and reduced carriage weight due to incorporation of Amorim Cork Composites' AluCORK® flooring solutions. Projects o…

Underlays are tiles to place between the floor surface and flooring which can result in several key benefits. They can be used in all types of flooring solutions providing significant improvements in terms of thermal comfort, sound insulation, floor leveling and energy efficiency. Underlays can consist of pure agglomer…

The construction of a supermarket from Biedronka chain on the ground floor of a new residential and commercial building in Szczecin, Poland, required a high efficiency solution to ensure silence and comfort in all 118 apartments of the complex. The preferred choice was the installation of Acousticork range underscreed…

The supports formed by cork granulated with recycled materials, are used to decouple the connections of the masonry with the building’s structure. It has been developed to effectively interrupt the transmission of footstep noise vertically through the masonry. If wall bearings are used consistently throughout a buildin…

Although the application of an underscreed is primarily to improve the acoustic insulation of a building by reducing the spreading of percussion or impact noise, this system also influences the reduction of aerial noise (airborne sound) and the thermal performance of the construction, as it helps to restrict heat losse…

The scope of the summary characterisation is intended to highlight the performance in terms of safety, comfort and durability of Alucork® panels.  The basis of the characterisation is a 20mm Alucork® panel and the typical requirements of end users, such as the national and international rules governing the passenger ra…

Underlay: simple, but efficient An underlay is a layer of material applied during the installation process between the concrete layer (or the previous flooring) and the final flooring. It is an element that is out of sight, but whose presence is felt with every step. With an underlay, the sound of children jumping and…
